The Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody had exclusive access to the meeting, and had a camera right on Paul as he urged ministers and activist to battle the "moral crisis" that has led to mass acceptance of gay marriage.
“Don’t always look to Washington to solve anything," said Paul. "In fact, the moral crisis we have in our country, there is a role for us trying to figure out things like marriage, there’s also a moral crisis that allows people to think that there would be some sort of other marriage. And so, really there's a role outside and inside government but the exhortation to sort of change people's thoughts has to come through the countryside, from outside of Washington."
